This study explores the role played by audit committees (ACs) in illuminating the effectiveness of internal audit (IA) as a facilitator of the achievement of organisational goals, specifically examining whether the AC mediates the relationship between IA and firm performance (FP).,Data are gathered from survey questionnaires directed to chief internal auditors (CIAs) and from the annual reports of 119 listed companies in Saudi Arabia (SA) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and mediation tests are used to assess the study’s hypotheses.,The findings indicate that the independence of the AC and having members with accounting and auditing expertise mediate the effects of IA independence and size on FP. However, no such mediation is found with respect to IA competence and FP. Further, AC meetings do not mediate the effects of IA characteristics on FP. Additional measures of the tested variables determine the robustness of the obtained findings.,While much research examines the relationship between FP and corporate governance (CG) mechanisms, this study considers IA, as a key element of CG, and its impact on FP, which has received more limited attention. Hence, the findings contribute to the literature by providing new understandings regarding IA as a component of CG and its relationship with FP. Furthermore, they bring additional evidence of the influence of IA upon FP, which is mediated by AC independence and expertise.

审计委员会,内部审计与公司绩效之间的关系

这项研究探索了审计委员会(AC)在阐明内部审计(IA)作为实现组织目标的促进者的有效性方面所扮演的角色,特别是检查了AC是否调解了IA与公司绩效(FP)之间的关系。数据来自针对首席内部审计师(CIA)的调查问卷以及沙特阿拉伯(SA)和阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)的119家上市公司的年度报告。普通最小二乘(OLS)回归和中介检验用于评估研究的假设。研究结果表明,审计委员会的独立性以及由具有会计和审计专业知识的成员来调解IA的独立性和规模对FP的影响。但是,没有发现有关IA能力和FP的这种调解。进一步,AC会议不会调解IA特性对FP的影响。虽然测试变量的其他度量确定了所获得结果的稳健性。尽管许多研究都检验了FP与公司治理(CG)机制之间的关系,但本研究还是将IA作为CG的关键要素及其对FP的影响进行了研究。受到的关注较少。因此,这些发现通过提供有关IA作为CG的组成部分及其与FP关系的新认识,为文献做出了贡献。此外,他们还带来了IA对FP的影响的其他证据,这是由AC独立性和专业知识介导的。尽管大量研究检查了FP与公司治理(CG)机制之间的关系,但本研究将IA作为CG的关键要素及其对FP的影响受到了较少的关注。因此,这些发现通过提供有关IA作为CG的组成部分及其与FP关系的新认识,为文献做出了贡献。此外,他们还带来了IA对FP的影响的其他证据,这是由AC独立性和专业知识介导的。尽管大量研究检查了FP与公司治理(CG)机制之间的关系,但本研究将IA作为CG的关键要素及其对FP的影响受到了较少的关注。因此,这些发现通过提供有关IA作为CG的组成部分及其与FP关系的新认识,为文献做出了贡献。此外,他们还带来了IA对FP的影响的其他证据,这是由AC独立性和专业知识介导的。
